I was excited when Bobby broke the October curse. Now I'm taking the frightening next step and I'm starting to believe. "It's not the despair..."

Ta. I will now be able to sleep soundly again.

If the poll is still open, could somebody who hasn't yet voted put a vote in for Charlton, please? At the moment it's the only game before Christmas with exactly zero votes, which practically guarantees that it will be the one where we slip up.

If this quote from the article is correct: I can only imagine it makes a worthwhile difference to the amount that Sky can charge for adverts. It costs them nothing to choose a Leeds game instead of some other club's, so it's free money as far as they're concerned.

In this tournament I'd say that Argentina had about as good a chance as France (that is, not one I'd put any of my own money anywhere near). At least Argentina's route to the final goes through Ireland and Australia/Scotland, not New Zealand and South Africa. Anyway, I think England's World Cup...

Ahem. I got a point too but it doesn't seem to have moved me up the leaderboard. Must be a pain in the knackers when 63 of us get it right. :)

Argentina?

The missus named our cats Kinky (that one always gets a smile at the vet's) after Kinky Friedman, the country singer, novelist and failed Texas gubernatorial candidate, and Rambam, after Steven Rambam, Kinky's dodgy private investigator mate in his novels.

If only the Daily Mail had some idea who to blame for this madness... Oh.

I have stupidly signed up for Macmillan's "Go sober for October" fundraising challenge so I'm on the ginger beer. I'll be pleased just to get through this first weekend, what with a home game to go to and wall-to-wall rugby on the TV.

This is doing my blood pressure no good at all. Was hoping that Scotland would have a comfortable lead before I have to get back from the pub for a 4 o'clock meeting. Now I'll have to avoid all contact with the internet while I try to Likely Lads it home.

Feel very envious of everyone going to USA-Samoa today but frankly that's me being greedy - after yesterday's fantastic match I just want to see more international rugby in our beautiful stadium. Queues for the catering seemed pretty standard (long, slow-moving) before kick-off but being able...

I'll second Bottoms Rest. Great little pub.

I'm not so much predicting as daydreaming of 3-0 to us, to push us back to the top on goal difference and make this silly early-season flirtation with the top of the table feel more like a serious shot at keeping in touch with the top six.

Don't panic. We won't concede 7 (seven). (If we do now concede 7 (seven) I can't imagine how I would atone for tempting fate so outrageously.)

Care to give us tomorrow's lottery numbers as well?

So sad to hear about everyone who has lost a pet recently. We had our favourite cat put down in June and I'm not even starting to get over it yet.

Excellent - so he can put the vier of Gott into opposing strikers.

I guess if we got Buckley back on loan we might lack pace better. I remember him being slow for quite a while before we thought his head was being turned by Gus. Whether that was him trying to save his hamstrings for us or for the sake of his own value on the transfer market, he showed that...

It worries me. Pretty much guarantees he'll get injured in pre-season.
